It's been 12 years since I sold the original Range. I rented a tiny place with all the coziness of a dental lab but close to work, while I looked for a place my heart would be happy with, further away from work but closer to friends. I planned on a small house on acreage in the country - I ended up married to my best friend and living in a 105-year-old Bungalow in Chicago. The wiring was probably designed by Lucas, and the appliances are from the 1940s, but it's where I want to be, and there's room enough for both tiny RC helicopters and a lathe in the basement.
